Woman in the Dunes - Embodying a Modern Allegory

Hiroshi Teshigahara's adaptation of Woman in the Dunes is a perfect encapsulation of Kobo Abe's original novel, but it also possess transformative qualities of it's own. By bringing the story to the screen, the film demonstrates the power of cinematography to convey instinctual existential dread and intense physical sensations through barren imagery and all-consuming close-ups.

Underrated film. This is the first Japanese film I saw. It had the thrills of Alfred Hitchcock's works. So nicely made.

The best film that has touched the celluloid!

Thank you for this, but what is your take on what their situation is an allegory for?

[@2yoyodog]

unengaging, boring, speed-reading a text about a film that deserves so much more.

As a person who is particularly interested in presentations and how to give a good one, I am curious in a friendly manner as to what would you have done differently?
